Hi, Wilfred!

WvV> The name of the group is rather pretentious: "FidoNet"
It's perfect!
WvV> I didn't have gating in mind when I created it. I think it should
WvV> remain an Telegram exclusive group. We have enough areas that are
WvV> already gated.
May be you are right. I thought it would be more convenient this way, but you certainly know better. This is not the only Telegram group about Fido without Fido.
WvV> A new echomail area TELEGRAM. Or TELEGRAM.FIDONET would be a good idea
WvV> though, I think.
Ok. Let's do it!
WvV> Or can a gated area have different names on the Telegram
WvV> and Fidonet side?
Yes. The name of the group now may be completely different from ECHOTAG. Such groups even already exist.
WvV> Than it can be TELEGRAM on the fidonet side and FidoNet
WvV> on the Telegram side. ;-)
Yes. It can be that way.
I really liked both of your ideas. We can create a FIDONET.TELEGRAM group associated with TELEGRAM.FIDONET echo and/or link the FidoNet group with the TELEGRAM echo. It is very important that they are international and it is desirable to have one of these groups open, public.
